Chapter 1677 - 1672: Fell Into the Trap!

"Not allowing the driver to come forward for confrontation, and using status to suppress me! Is Uncle indirectly admitting that he has seen Mrs. Jin and still has contact with her?"

Mu Shuangshuang showed no sign of fear, openly looking at Mu Dade.

"You... You’re falsely accusing me! I haven’t seen Mrs. Jin, nor do I have any contact with her!" Mu Dade angrily retorted to Mu Shuangshuang.

"If I’m falsely accusing you, call the driver for confrontation and we’ll see!" Mu Shuangshuang replied.

"Eldest son, go call the driver!" Mr. Mu said.

"Father, are you doubting me too? I was the one who insisted on leaving Mrs. Jin, how could I do something so humiliating?" Mu Dade looked at Mr. Mu, dissatisfied.

"Big brother, isn’t it just calling the driver for confrontation? If you haven’t done anything, then call him! Otherwise, how can we believe you!" Mrs. Lin chimed beside him.

"It’s not about calling the driver now, it’s about you not trusting me! I have lived my life clean and upright, why should I be slandered?" Mu Dade said.

"Since Uncle doesn’t want to let the driver come forward for confrontation, let’s try another way, I’ll have Mrs. Jin come in person!" Mu Shuangshuang proposed.

"Shuang, can you really make Mrs. Jin appear spontaneously? That’ll be fun, then we can clearly see who’s lying!" Mrs. Lin chuckled beside her.

"Of course I can! But I need to step out for a bit, to get someone to invite Mrs. Jin!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"Then hurry up! We’ll wait for you here!" Mrs. Lin urged.

The Old Mu Family had been quiet for so long, it’s finally getting exciting.

Mrs. Lin was thrilled to watch the spectacle unfold!

Mu Shuangshuang smiled and stood up.

Before she left the Old Mu Family, she cast a meaningful glance at Mu Dade.

That look was filled with many layers of meaning.

Mu Dade felt a tightness in his chest, immediately contemplating his next move.

—He couldn’t let that girl bring Mrs. Jin over! He must prevent this from happening!

Yet, he himself couldn’t leave.

With that in mind, Mu Dade stood up and said to Mr. Mu, "Father, I’m going to the lavatory, will be right back!"

Mr. Mu nodded, "Be quick!"

Mu Dade walked out of the front main room and headed straight towards the back yard’s side room.

Just as he left, Mu Shuangshuang entered the main room.

Seeing Mu Shuangshuang, both Mr. Mu and Mrs. Lin made surprised expressions.

"Shuang, why are you back? You wouldn’t really be falsely accusing your uncle, right?" Mrs. Lin asked.

"Second Aunt, stop spouting nonsense! Grandpa, come with me, I’ll show you the evidence!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

Mr. Mu looked doubtful, "Weren’t you going to invite Mrs. Jin?"

"If I invite her, Uncle is sure to say I fabricated it, better if I take you directly to see the evidence!" Mu Shuangshuang replied.

"Alright! I’ll go with you!" Mr. Mu agreed.

"I’ll go too!" Mrs. Lin interjected.

"Second Aunt, you can’t go, you must hold Uncle back, if you and Grandpa are both absent, he’ll definitely get suspicious, and it’ll inevitably bring trouble for Grandpa and me! From now on, Second Aunt, you must stay close to Uncle, no matter where he goes, you must follow him!"

"I’m not going!" Mrs. Lin immediately refused.

This is a thankless task, Mrs. Lin wouldn’t want to do it.

"Second Aunt! Don’t you want to know how Qingqing is doing now?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.

"Who cares about that girl! That unlucky one, she’s surely laboring in the countryside now!" Mrs. Lin declared confidently.

She’s convinced, without herself, Mu Qingqing wouldn’t have a good life!

Even throughout her numerous good days, she constantly sneered at Mu Qingqing internally for being useless!

"No, she got married!" Mu Shuangshuang revealed.

"Married? That girl’s lost her mind, hasn’t she? How dare she get married? Her father and I haven’t agreed, whom did she marry?"

Mrs. Lin jumped in anger.

She couldn’t stop cursing Mu Qingqing.

Yet, Mu Shuangshuang left the matter hanging, causing Mrs. Lin’s entire face to turn red from anxiety.

"Shuang, tell Second Aunt honestly, did that girl marry some country bumpkin and become a village woman?" Mrs. Lin asked.

"Second Aunt, this can’t be told to you! Unless you keep an eye on Uncle!" Mu Shuangshuang responded.

"Fine! I’ll watch him, once I find out where that girl is, I won’t let her off easy!" Mrs. Lin said viciously.

Mu Shuangshuang didn’t have time for her chatter, she led Mr. Mu out.

Mu Dade found the driver and instructed him to go to Mrs. Jin’s and tell her not to leave the small courtyard, regardless of who invited her.

After instructing the driver, he headed to the lavatory.

Intending to feign being occupied there for a length of time.

Mu Shuangshuang and Mr. Mu just got outside, and saw the driver driving the carriage out.

"Shuang, the driver took the carriage, what do we do?" Mr. Mu asked.

"We’ll also take a carriage!" Mu Shuangshuang replied.

"But... we don’t have one!" Mr. Mu said.

Mu Shuangshuang looked around, finally resting her gaze on a nearby ox cart, merely three hundred meters away.

"Grandpa, we’ll take the ox cart!"

Mu Shuangshuang then ran towards the ox cart, exchanged a couple of words with the owner, and handed over a few copper coins.

The owner of the ox cart agreed to let Mr. Mu and Mu Shuangshuang ride on his cart.

The two followed the driver, reaching the courtyard of Mu Dade and Mrs. Jin’s residence in no time.

The driver stopped his carriage and hopped off.

He then fiercely knocked on the door, a moment later, someone came to open the door.

And the one who opened the door was indeed Mrs. Jin.

The driver said to Mrs. Jin, "Ma’am, the master asked me to tell you, no matter who comes to invite you today, you shouldn’t go out, especially not to the Old Mu Family!"

Mrs. Jin frowned, ready to ask what’s going on, but moving her lips pulled at her facial wound, and she grimaced in pain.

She waved her hand at the driver, "Got it!"

"Ma’am, please remember, the master said this is important, you mustn’t delay!" the driver said.

Mrs. Jin, listening to the driver’s words, felt the tension increase.

She took a step back, went inside the courtyard, and with a bang, shut the door, ignoring the driver’s words outside.

"Grandpa, this is the truth of the matter! The driver is so familiar here, clearly he often visits! And my uncle also said that the driver is his man, he’s adjusted by him! Can this be considered as evidence?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.

Mr. Mu’s face turned into livid with anger.

He coughed forcefully several times, and after a long period, regained composure!

"Shuang, I will provide you with an explanation for this matter! Now, let’s go call the fourth family! Back then, because of Xiao Chu, Mrs. Jin was dismissed, now, big brother is back to his old ways—the ones most wronged are not us, but the fourth family!" Mr. Mu said to Mu Shuangshuang.
